Espanyol vs Real Madrid Predictions

• Espanyol are 16 games without a win
• Real Madrid have won 20 of the last 23 head-to-heads
• Both teams have scored in Real Madrid’s last nine games

Los Blancos trying to avoid Barca title win

Real Madrid could hand Barcelona the title if they fail to get the better of Espanyol on Sunday but they should have little issue seeing off the Parakeets.

The hosts are 16 games without a win and have lost ten of those. A strong start to the season is the only thing preventing Maolo Gonzalez’s side getting dragged into a relegation battle and they may struggle to stop their season petering out.

Real Madrid look set for a rare trophyless season, they were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich, dumped out of the Copa del Rey by Albacete and have seen Barcelona pull clear in the La Liga title race.

Hosts’ struggles to continue

However, even despite their struggles, Alvaro Arbeola’s men might not need to be at their best to get the better of this Espanyol side. 

Los Blancos have won 20 of the last 23 meetings between these two teams and the home side have failed to score in three of their last four games.

Side with Real Madrid to prevent Barcelona celebrating too early by securing a victory in this clash.

Both teams have scored in Real’s last nine games so correct score backers should keep a 2-1 away win on side.
